What if it's/they're more powerful?

2d ago ... Well the Nextbox will be revealed tomorrow ladies and gentlemen and the rumors are starting to take off like a rocket. The biggest rumor and question is what if it's more powerful than the PS4? I say great, more power is always a good thing, but will that hurt Sony? No, not really. It'll give fans bragging rights for the first year or two, but after that it's back to which console has t...

Reinventing the Past: The Guardian Legend.

8d ago ... Everyone has an old game from their childhood that they want to see brought back to life. Everyone has a personal favorite from circa 1989 (ish) through 1995. Mostly Nintendo consoles. Strictly speaking, not for 90's babies. A special place for those that were born in Circa 1980's, and played atari when their parents weren't home, when they played Nintendo at age five. Games have evolved...

Pick And Choose Used Or New

20d ago ... The industry is in financial straits right now. The industry took a 22% drop in profits in the year 2012 and publishers keep looking for reasons why their games are making less money. Some like EA, took initiative against piracy. Others like Quantic Dream's David Cage believes that the used game market can potentially hurt profits. Knowing full well between the difference of the new and used...

Why Sony won next gen already

41d ago ... Why Sony already won the Next-Gen Console War So it's that time again. A console generation comes to an end and everything starts at zero. But this time seems to be different and I will tell you why. Let's start with Nintendo. Trying to recreate the Wii's success with the WiiU somehow failed ...but why exactly? To wrap it up in one sentence - core gamers can't be fooled twice and casual ga...

Demon Souls "a game I like, but I don't want to play"

45d ago ... Demons Souls is game I have been wanting to try since it came out, numerous game of the year awards and critical acclaim, I'm still surprised that after all these years I have yet to pick up a copy. But like many others a big stock of games began to pill up on me and with work and life I slowly began the task of working on that backlog. After becoming a Playstation Plus member that backlog that...

Should Console Games Move on to Art, While Mobile Games Take Their Place?

62d ago ... All these touch games - Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Racing Moto - Aren't these technically true video games, at least by definition? Brilliant games such as Final Fantasy VII, Dark Souls,Journey, or Xenoblade Chronicles - What "Gamers" love about gaming in general, well, really aren't games - they're much more. Of course, millions of gamers would kill me for saying what I said in the first sen...

Marketing Campaigns - The Push up bras of the gaming industry (No sexist intentions)

96d ago ... In Which ever way you look at it and whether you agree or disagree, advertising in most cases is the prime deciding factor in a products success. Look at Sony with the PS Vita a powerful device with a above average library of games, that is suffering in terms of sales due to Sony's marketing campaign for the device, or rather lack thereof. Before a marketing team embarks on their marketing c...

The Captivation Of Dark Souls

114d ago ... Recently It was recommended to me by 2 fellow N4G users to try out Dark Souls. As an Xbox man myself I hadn't heard much of Demon Souls and what I knew of Dark Souls was that it was frustrating and difficult to complete, a real marmite game, so as you can understand I was sceptical about the idea Looking at the price of only £20 for a GOTY edition I thought to myself why not and took the lea...

Where is the GTA 3 HD Collection Rockstar?

204d ago ... HD Collections and games being HD'ed have become a big thing at the end of this cycle. Game companies seem to be trying to capitalise on a little to no work ratio, where they can appease a number of fans. Which as a fan, like me, would gladly pay. Right this second I am eagerly awaiting the release of Okami HD on PSN. I longed to play that game at launch on PS2 but due to similar circumstanc...

RaiderZ is just that k...

Gamescom 2012 recap and played games

273d ago ... Gamescom is a cool event and I'm glad I attended it this year as well. I really enjoyed the games, I really hated the Razer and Roccat booths that make such a deafening noise you can't hear what you're playing. I missed Tony Hawk's show, but watched a very cool one of acrobatic bicycles! Well, let's talk about the games, then: SONY: first of all what’s always cool about Sony’s zone a...
